It will be interesting to watch, since some other currencies use a different challenge, making the computer need memory in addition to the computing power to twart specialised asic miners.

A complete hack. Posing as a good guy, but what did he achieve, really? I think he's even more evil than Google at that point.

The only disruptive technology here is not having to take a 270000$ loan to be able to do taxi work.

Russians scraped their space shuttle equivalent after one flight because they had no use for it (instead of using it, to the cost of untold number of billions $ like the US did). Russians are pragmatic, why would they launch a space station while the ISS is still in orbit?

They want to have plenty of those road, so it could be imagined that roads in an area would melt the snow using energy collected by roads where the weather is better.

plans to bring broadband to everyone years after years. You'd think it'd be finished by now. What happened to all the money ?

Virtual 3D wall with ads that fly into your face?
Virtual 3D panorama of your friends' latest photographs of their cats?

I think Iran has computers and 3D artists, and blowing up a CGI USA aircraft carrier would be cheaper and indistinguishable from the real thing on tv screens.

Not fun at all, I agree. We totally need these game to auto-correct spelling and gramatical errors on player chat.
